What if it is unrequited love? Would you really want that kind of pain to cling to you and haunt you? People lose so much for "love", that it becomes questionable whether a person would wish this on any other much less themselves.

No surprise. I would imagine that a lot of people with AS ultimately suffer suffer the fate of Tantalus, to see the delicious fruit, and even to see others consume it, but never to have any ourselves.

I tell myself and everyone else (including WP) that I'm asexual*. I read a lot of Nietzsche. If I did not half-deny the power of love, it would indeed be too much to bear, this loneliness.
*alas, no. I am of the earth, sadly. I like girls.
Nietzsche? I like Nietzsche. Even though I have never read the context of the following quote:
"God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?"
I find the quote to be awesome. Loneliness is a bitter pill to swallow though, to know that there is a path, and perhaps a difficult one, and to know that it is your path and yours alone is just difficult to swallow. To know that everyone else has kin, while you are cursed to roam the earth like a vagabond is depressing.
